My Time As A Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba x Male Reader)

Getting Better Together (CH.27)

Y/N's Pov

I was fairly happy with her response to my actions, as I was really dreading that she wouldn't want to talk to me after I told her how I felt about Demons, however, her response also seemed a bit sad, so I wanted to talk with her about it.

I turned in my bed to look at her, however, she had already fallen asleep by then, since I could already hear some snores coming from her. I still wanted to talk, but decided to save it for later, as she was surely tired after her mission, and honestly, I was as well, so I turned around in my bed as well, and fell asleep.

Inside my dreams, I woke up in a different room from where I fell asleep. "Huh? Surely a dream..." I said to myself, as I instantly realized what was happening, however, just as I said this to myself, someone came in through the door, while saying.

"A dream? What was it about, sweetie?" I couldn't make out who it was simply by the sound, so I turned around to see, and was taken back by what I saw. "So, was it a good at least?" Asked Mother, as she came in with a cup of tea, like she used to do every morning when I was younger.

Seeing her like this made me lose my breath, and I couldn't even move from how shocked I was. After she left the mug of tea down, Mother seemed to get confused by me not picking it up, so she asked. "Sweetie? Is everything alright?" And by this point, even though I was a hundred percent certain that she couldn't be here with me again, I wanted to hold onto the slim glimmer of hope that she could, so I threw myself at her while exclaiming.

"Mother!!! You're back!!!" But just as I was about to wrap my arms around her, something took her away, making me fall down and hit my hands. The pain from the fall was nothing for me, so I quickly looked up, and what I saw made my blood boil this time. "You bastard! Let her go!!!" I screamed, seeing as the same Demon that killed her was standing there with a grin on his face, while Mother laid at his feet, with a terrified expression.

He chuckled at me, and as he stomped Mother with his foot, he mockingly said. "Or what? Who's going to stop me? You? You couldn't even save her last time, what makes you think that today will be different?" By this point, I was so angry that my jaw felt like it would snap, and I then exclaimed.

"BECAUSE NOW I'M A DEMON SLAYER!!! I KILLED YOU ONCE! THEN I'LL SIMPLY DO IT TWICE!!!" I then charged at him, with the full intent of killing him, despite not having my weapon with me, but at the moment it didn't matter, I just wanted to get Mother back.

Unfortunately for me, just as I did this, I tripped, making me fall down, but not only in my dream, but also in real life, as I fell from my bed and onto the floor beside it. "Ouch..." I lowly muttered, and as I got back up, I tried to figure out what happened. "Oh...It's just another one of those..." I said to myself since I had been having this nightmares every now and then. It used to be only about Mother, especially when I just went to train with Master, but after he passed away, I would have even more, and sometimes they would even be about him.

I wasn't really aware of my surroundings yet, as I was pretty much still half asleep, however, it would've been better if I had focused on that first, because the next thing I knew was that I got a pillow to the face, and then heard. "Would you please keep quiet. I'm trying to sleep." I was initially surprised, but as I turned to look at the source of the sound, I could already get an idea of what it was.

"Sorry, Kocho. It won't happen again. Promise." I said to her, as I also bowed down a bit in place, as a sign of apology for her.

She only pouted a bit at me, while also giving me a pretty stern look, which, while it came out as quite intimidating, it also reminded me a lot of how she used to be before all my training, which made me feel a bit flustered.
